Matthew 28 [Commentary] [Map] 
|
| 1. |
Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. |
| 2. |
And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. |
| 3. |
And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. |
| 4. |
The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men. |
| 5. |
The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. |
| 6. |
"He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. |
| 7. |
"Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you." |
| 8. |
And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. |
| 9. |
And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. |
| 10. |
Then Jesus *said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me." |
| 11. |
Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. |
| 12. |
And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, |
| 13. |
and said, "You are to say, `His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.' |
| 14. |
"And if this should come to the governor's ears, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble." |
| 15. |
And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to this day. |
| 16. |
But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. |
| 17. |
When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. |
| 18. |
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. |
| 19. |
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, |
| 20. |
teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." |
